at least have a matrix bridge
I agree. Discord and other shitty chat apps are some of the most useless, privacy destroying apps available right now. There is literally no use for them because we have Matrix and IRC. It just sucks that so many people bought into their huge pile of shit that unless you want to give up your social life, it is basically unaviodable.
You may not like Discord, but is not “shitty” or “useless”. Attitudes like this are precisely what discourage people from switching to alternatives.
Discord is worse than useless since it’s making the world a worse place than if it didn’t exist. Are there silver linings to it, have good things happened because of it? Maybe. But the drawbacks significantly outweigh the good.
What do you think about Fosscord?
Does that service violate Discord’s ToS?
I’ll try it. I’m also selfhosting revolt which is trying to be an open source replacement for discord
Someone tell this to gamers.
I’m about to generalize…
Gamers don’t have it in them to care about the nuance of privacy, or their future well being. Just look at them, the console gamers buy into a dystopian walled garden, and PC gamers aren’t too far behind, dealing with Microsoft’s control subverting spyware of an operating system. I don’t see this group making smart moves for themselves.
#notallgamers don’t @ me.
IMO gamers are like this because, throughout the years, they have been slowly desensitized through more and more agressive practices: starting with “please don’t redistribute” and ending with literal rootkits
Discord is a great for tech illiterate folks, but a FOSS project should go for Matrix or similar’
Yes, please!
